Anyone know how to make an IV drip and bag? I couldn't find anything on the Internet......And I can't even find something I can buy....

I am going to make a HUGE beer. I'm going for as strong as possible. To make this happen I would like to slowly feed the beer yeast and sugar through an IV. I will also be oxygenating it pretty much everyday for a couple weeks to keep the yeast going hard.

Don't hate on the strong beer, it's just for fun! Hopefully I will reach 20% plus.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Drill a small bucket and attach the line, hang the bucket up high, and you can use the roller to adjust the flow/drip rate. I used one to feed calcium slowly in to an aquarium with much success. Easy to use and allows for fairly precise control.

You can also make something like with tubing, a bucket, and an inline valve (as wierdboy said). I imagine you could cobble something together at Home Depot for a fraction of the cost. But that is essentially what you are trying to make.

That's exactly what I need. Its def a little pricier then I want to spend. I just found something on eBay for $4. I'll just have to make my own bag somehow

Take a bottle or jar, fill it with your sugar solution, put a stopper in it and invert it. You can drill the stopper to put your tubing in there nice and tight.

lol...when I first got into nursing, I always wondered if I could use an IV bag and tubing to use in brewing. I'm not sure that it would be necessary to slowly feed yeast through the bag so much as maybe pitching a large amount a week or so into fermentation. Using the drip for sugar addition is definitely an interesting idea though. Do you have a strong enough yeast to handle over 20%?
